Abstract
In recent years, the magnesium alloy is frequently used for automobile components, computer parts and digital camera parts. However, a lot of magnesium chips from the manufacturing process are dumped as the industrial waste, because the surface area per unit volume is wide and the magnesium machine chips are easy oxidized during the melting process. However, the magnesium chips will be able to be recycled by the compaction forming to avoid the oxidation. In the paper, the compaction forming experiments of the magnesium machine chips are attempted by mixing of Mg chips, Al chips and aluminum melting flux such as NaCl, MgCl2. For the compacts obtained, the check of crack, the strength test and the microstructure observation of the compact are performed. Furthermore, the formed compact was melted in molten aluminum. And, the mechanical strength of the obtained Al-Mg alloy is compared with that of the commercial alloy.
